The European Commission will help refugees from Ukraine through its regulation effective from 27 July, temporarily recognising their driving licences and professional qualification as professional drivers of trucks and buses in its member states. This measure applies to Ukrainian citizens who are granted temporary protection in EU countries and is valid for the duration of this protection.
The Czech Railways (ČD) provides hundreds of Ukrainian citizens heading to their homeland, for example, for general mobilization, with free transport on all trains, including those with mandatory seat reservation. Ukrainian citizens only need to prove their passport. These passengers can be transported without necessary reservation also in all trains where a seat reservation is typically required. By the end of February, more than 3500 Ukrainian citizens had taken advantage of this offer. This number is growing every day.
